The secondary front following from the west could produce some showery rain over western Scotland and parts of Ireland but generally it should be mainly dry here too, although rather cloudy.Southeast England and East Anglia could have another misty start to the day with fog patches slow to clear.A tendency through the afternoon for cloud to break in northern England, Wales and perhaps the west of the Midlands with some bright or even sunny spells coming through.Winds mainly SW 4-8kt (F2-F3) in southern and eastern England.
